New York, Jan. 24. The attempt of the German naval authorities to de stroy the San Calos fortifications, cap ture a gunboat In lake Sfaracalbo and Interrupt the pasage of supplies from Colombia eastward Is considered most Inopportune by all English writers commenting on the affair, since it is a direct affront to the Washington go -ernment, which is striving to make peace and secure a satisfactory settle ment of outstanding claims, says the Tribune's London correspondent. According to the Berlin press what ever is -lone on the coast of Venezuf-bi is by joint authority.

BE RUBBED OUT But a good liniment or plaster will often give temporary relief because it produces counter irritation or reduces the inflammation and ore ness. But no sort of external treatment can hav any effect whatever upon the disease itself, for RtrevmmtUm Im not a tkln ffe0 but is due to aa over acid condition of the blood, and the deposit of Irritating matter or Uric Acid salts or sediment in the muscles and joints, and no amount of rubbing or blistering can dislodge, these gritty particles or change the acid blood. Rheumatism often becomes chronic, and the mus cles and joints permanently stiff and useless and the nervous system almost wrecked, because so much time is lost in trying to cure a blood disease with outside applications or doctoring the skin. . .... ...

The Monroe Doctrine Is In need of the advice of no German physician. It Is an M. D. Itself. By th? time a man gets old enough to talk well he has learned the value of not talking at all. '" The government of the United States gives away each year to farmers seeds to the value of $160,000. Ev-t notice that when a man asks your opinion on a question he nearly always ticks on your decision? He's old; to longer people bow; He's hagard, wan and needy; In youth he "sowed his wild oats;" now In age he's looking "seedy." "Do you believe that egotism and genius go together?" "Not always.

There are more baby girls than boy ba bies. This proportion of feniale births to male births Is as 100 to W. So that betw.wn 3.000.000 and 3.000.000 more girls ar born In the world each year than boys. There Is always a surplus of women, and the extra number of girl babies keeps up the supply, The rate of Infant mortality Is enormous.

START OF MI LLIONAIKE SKNATolt "The eastern papers tell us about Senator Thomas Ken ins of irtah get ting his start by borrowing his first hundred dollars fiom a buiulll," re marked an old-time resident of Salt Uike City. "The story Is that Kennies was wandering along over the moun tains looking for some good prospect, when he was met by a lone robber. The bandit commanded hint to hold up his hands and give up his money. K'ttrnes told him he wus a ior pros pector without even a grub stake. The men argu ;1 the question fpr a time and tlnnlly Kenrnes succeeded In borrow lug $Ii from the bandit.
